light and gossip on the affairs af their tiny world. It was a real bit of China, this village, such he you might see to-day in the far In terior. In that peaceful valley, shut off from roads and towns by the high green walls, it was bard to believe that an hour's drive away were talking cinemas, cafés, cabarete, motor buses and all the paraphrenalia of progress. The Shing Mun, ran its placid course under the old bridge, so crystal clear that one could see the colour of the stones in its sandy bed and watch the minnowa darting like black streaks among the reeds. The happy laughter of children echoed from behind the mud walls, or in the vale as they paddled in the cpsl stream, jam jar in hand, very like the boys in any village in Eng land. This small community, ag- gregating perhaps one hundred souls, was like a loyal and self- supporting family. Its members were born, they lived, married and died within the shadow of its low walla, seldom venturing forth unless to visit the market with their vegetables and farm produce, or to buy the things they could not pro- duce themselves. True, this com munity tacked many of the advan- tages of a modern town. It had no school; its sanitary arrangements wore as primitive as they could be; the people were superstitious and worshipped strange gods. Yet here they found sorrow and joy and were, we may presume, as contented as human beings can be who live in peace and order and earn their rice by the sweat of their brow. Their administration, simple as it was, was perfect in its way; autho- rity, was tested in the elders whose decrees were obeyed with a beauti ful loyalty.
